| Do you mean reassign the DECW$* logical names?

| 3151.2 | DECW$ files | MJPR02::TENHUISEN | | Tue Jul 31 1990 16:19 | 23 |
| Let me explain this further:
In a user's top level directory, there are the following files (plus or minus)
depending on which applications they run:
DECW$CALENDAR_FILE.DWC;1
DECW$MAIL.DAT;1
DECW$MAIL.EXE;1
DECW$SM.LOG;7
DECW$SM.LOG;6
DECW$SM.LOG;5
DECW$SM_COLOR.DAT;1
DECW$SM_GENERAL.DAT;1
DECW$TERMINAL_DEFAULT.DAT;1
DECW$WINMGR.DAT;1
I would like to move them to a subdirectory and have the DECW$SM.LOG files also
to write to this subdirectory.
My question is can I do this? If so, how? by changing a DECW logical? an entry
in DECW$WINMGR.DAT?

| 3151.3 | it's all logical :^) | GSRC::WEST | SCARY : A programmer with a screwdriver. | Tue Jul 31 1990 18:34 | 10 |

The logical that points to these files is DECW$USER_DEFAULTS. It is
currently defined to point to sys$login.
You can re-define this logical to point to a directory somewhere else.
I'm not 100% sure but I think you can even define it as a search list
just like the logical DECW$SYSTEM_DEFAULTS is.

| You can define it, but few of the applications pay attention to it.

You can define DECW$USER_DEFAULTS and all applications except for the
session manager, decterm and the decwindows window manager should pay attention
to it. The only reason that these applications don't is that the processes
they are in do not have your process logicals defined.
